"Strippers are like pet tigers. They are nice to look at but they are not for everyone."
you don't need a garter in los angeles.





garters here only serve as decoration.
just get a cute little purse/clutch for your $$. good luck!




If you wanted to buy a garter, I think any dancer store will carry them (if my memory is correct, Hollywood Blvd is covered in dancer stores).
I use them for my money + a rubber band. Would not want to carry around a little purse all night.

Ebay.
I dont wear them myself coz I dont like the look of them. I wear my money on the sole of my shoe. I'll try to explain it.
I tie a whole heap of rubber bands around the middle part of my shoe and then I put my money in the rubber bands and then I tie the money up with another rubber band. I love it coz my money is not easily viewed and it's a safe place to keep it.
I dont like carrying a purse coz I dont want o have to hold it and I would end up leaving it somewhere.
There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.
Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.
Porn stores usually carry fetishwear and stripper clothes. Good luck!![]()





bah... i will repeat- if you wear a garter w/ money in it here, you will seriously be the only one.... i have yet to see any so-cal dancer using a garter. it's a regional thing, and guys here do NOT expect it, are NOT allowed to 'tip your garter' (as is often customary in regions where it is popular) and it will look a bit out of place. again, i strongly advise you to get a little purse. it is what EVEryone else will have, and it's not a turn-off for most guys, as they expect it.








seriously listen to cc, everyone has a purse. no one looks out of place, but you will if you have a garter. i just use a clutch. it's not like you need to fit your life in there, i only carry around money in mine...you don't need room for anything else. but don't get something that's so ridiculously small you can't easily fit bills in it.
word of caution: a girl (although she's usually high) uses her wallet w/ all her shit in it and lo and behold one night she lost it...not just her money but her id, cards, etc. anyway, don't do that. haha









ladyx, why would you look out of place when everyone else will be carrying a small one, too??
anything cute/small works. some girls have little designer purses, others go hello kitty, basic black...
i SO want this one!!
stuff like these:
or cute little wristlets...
i think it's a good idea to have a small, stylish, interesting purse.... but one that is discreet at the same time.
my purse:
dahh, fuck i guess i deleted it. sorry... it's a cute, black/green ted baker clutch purse. but there are some others in that thread, too...
this one's cool, too...
but like i said- it's a regional thing. some places have garters, some put money elsewhere, some places it's not seemly to have your $ displayed.
in So Cal you have a small purse. seriously.




^i want that ted baker purse! i have a ted baker purse that i love love love.





i <3 ted baker!!! it's cheaper & really interesting stuff... but still designer! that purse is the one designer thing i own...
the ted baker store @ South Coast Plaza (<3 <3 <3) totally plied me with alcohol before i bought it. i think it was the holidays and they were serving drinks. smart move.![]()




^oh i know, i went there looking for a dress and they offered my friend and me drinks, it was like alcohol + shopping = me spending too much money. and you never see people w/ ted baker stuff! best kept secret in south coast for designer stuff i swear.





No just regular 6 or 7 inch heels. You put the rubber bands (about 5-10) on the part of the sole in between the heel and the toe, so your foot will be on top of the rubber bands. Then you fold your money in half (I fold mine long ways but it doesnt really matter) shove the money under the rubber bands and then tie it at the end.
If it's still not clear Ill post pics after this weekend coz it's a bit hard to describe. But I love carrying my money this way. I couldnt be bothered having to watch a purse while I danced for guys.
